About NYC RING Convocation of Practices The NYC RING Convocation of Practices is an annual gathering of clinicians, researchers, and investigators from across our network of partner sites. This event showcases the wide variety of practice-based research and quality improvement activities being conducted across our network. Convocation is an excellent opportunity for NYC clinicians, researchers, and scholars to connect, share ideas, and discuss future collaboration. Convocation Day 2023 On November 14th, over 140 attendees - representing a wide diversity of disciplines, specialties, and organizations - joined us at Einstein's Price Center for the 2023 NYC RING Convocation of Practices. 51 poster presentations showcased the meaningful and important work being conducted locally to improve health outcomes and delivery of care to patients in our Bronx and greater New York City communities. Thank you to all who participated in making Convocation Day a success. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the formation of NYC RING! Click below to view the photo gallery.
